    A truth machine is a guy who keeps coming at you. He doesn't care if you're undefeated, a champion, or a p4p entrant. He'll take your shots to land his own and he will make you fight or you'll get eaten up. He might not be the best all-around skilled fighter but the fact that he keeps coming makes up for it.

    I'll start with two mexicans:

    Margarito at 147
    Andrade at 168

    Wish I could say it was mine but I've heard a commentator or two mention it. Gotta admit that it's a great description.

    Good picks by the way.

    Margarito is a chicken. Paul Williams is more truth. Hatton is an overrated wrestler. Pac man gonna make him look silly.

    That ****in' guy was top ten for over 15 years, became linear Canadian Champ the same day God made dirt, but he never won a world title. Amazing.

    Yeah, no doubt! these two could make a war! but Andrade is 168, even though Andrade would probably win!
